Quote

The first movie my dad ever showed me was Predator - I was five. And I think the second one was Jaws. I've has this understanding of fiction for a very, very long time but I've also had this thing where I've idolized the male action heroes because that's what I watched with my dad.

This business is hard. People and producers and studios and finance guys get caught up in saying, Women don't sell movies, or This person doesn't sell foreign, or You have to attach guys first, or People don't want to see women do this.
